You never know when you’re going to stumble upon a genius secret iPhone feature that makes your life easier. In this case, two smart tips were uncovered that turn two annoying tasks into no big deals at all.
The first quick hack involves Siri and finally turning off all of your alarms (why did you set them all at once in the first place? It’s impossible to remember). The second task is turning off Wi-Fi in the background, which we realize we should always do when we enter an environment where we temporarily don’t need a connection. Turning it off helps protect our privacy, but you’re not alone in always managing to forget to do this.
These are the two game-changing Siri tricks to keep up your sleeve that can automatically turn off all alarms and disconnect from Wi-Fi.
Turn Off Alarms
Those alarms on your iPhone stack up. Before you know it, you have three or four of them turned on at the same time, which makes for chaos when they all go off. Use Siri to turn all of these alarms off at once. Siri has evolved to become more sophisticated over time. Simply ask Siri to turn off your alarms and, voila, they will be turned off.
Turn Off Wi-Fi
As for turning off Wi-Fi when you don’t need it, the task is also a cinch. Instead of going into Setting to turn this off, you guessed it: ask Siri to do this for you. When Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are turned off, the following features will remain enabled:
AirDrop
AirPlay
Apple Pencil
Apple Watch
Continuity features, like Handoff and Instant Hotspot
Instant Hotspot
Location Services
Unlock with Apple Watch
However, you can ask Siri to turn these off, as well, if you truly want to keep yourself off the grid.
